Who is using compost teas out there?? I am starting a job as groundskeeper for a university, and I want to be as organic as I can be. We are talking serious footage here, so granular organics simply would not be cost effective. I have priced them out locally, and the cost would be ridiculous. Any feedback recispes, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I plan on using them on turf and trees/shrubs. Also, what is a good brewer to buy, or can i just build one??:hammerhead:

What types of teas do not need to be aerated? I know there are benefical anaerobic bacteria, but to brew whole batches of tea that way? What do you do to keep the microbes from running out of oxygen? Stirring?

i can't pm for some reason. can you send me all you know on compost tea. i just got back from a seminar that was pushing how effective compost tea is. i was really impressed and wanted to look into using it this year or at least testing it out on a small scale. you say you don't need a brewing kit? what about de-chlorinating the water? can you send me an email with your advice and tips...possible suppliers maybe in ohio or around this area? thanks.

my email is moneymaurer@hotmail.com

I am confused. Are you saying compost tea is a scam, or brewers? There is good and bad, and alot of bad information out there
